'Ribbons', & 'Deerpark and the Great Snow'

Two more poems now from the winner of this year's Senior Poetry Prize (pictured, the Deerpark in the 'Great Snow' earlier this year):-

'Ribbons', by Fiona Boyd

as we move through the airwe weave in and out of each otherinseparable ribbonsthat were droppedto float to the dead, dying ground.

carried and shaped by the windi will not move for you, unless i have tounless this invisibility forces me to

the ground's approachingfaster, faster nowwhen suddenly i realiseit was my hand that rested on the windowsillit was my hand that let us go,that waves at us as we fall,the shadow of my smile leering down at us.

' Deerpark and the Great Snow', by Fiona Boyd

An alleyway of trees.A weight of snow covers everything.I sit surrounded by whiteApart from you and your rushing coloursFading now in the dimmer light.
